Abstract

The present application relates to battery technology and discloses a battery current collector plate and a battery. The battery current collector plate includes a tab connection portion, a terminal connection portion, and a fuse. The tab connection portion represents an annular structure. The terminal connection portion is disposed at the center of the tab connection portion. An annular gap is formed between a circumferential edge of the terminal connection portion and an inner circumferential edge of the tab connection portion. Two ends of the fuse are respectively connected to the circumferential edge of the terminal connection portion and the inner circumferential edge of the tab connection portion.
